“This is the second time we’ve had Jeffery take care of our cat, Nora. A wonderful job! Attentive to Nora who can act a bit shy at first. It’s clear by the pictures she is very comfortable and at ease. That is extremely important to me. Very reliable and trustworthy. I’m completely happy, as is Nora.”
“Amber was a wonderful sitter! Amber had excellent communication, shared updates with photos & took excellent care of our 3 pets. We would highly recommend Amber as a future sitter!”

“Tara was amazing! She sent really comforting messages and photos to me everyday I was on my trip. I could tell my cat got lots of pets and play time to keep her going interaction-wise through the long week I was out of town, something that was super important for her well being and Tara really did a great job on that front! I would definitely trust her with my cat’s care again in the future.”

About: I have years of dog sitting and walking experience. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, including pups who may be a little feisty on a leash. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or full house sitting/boarding, I treat every dog like my own! I work in office Monday through Thursday and am home on Fridays. I enjoy walking in the morning and evenings during the week and go on longer walks/adventures on the weekends. I am happy to provide care for your pet based on your preferences. On leash walks, playing in your yard, staying at your home, etc.
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.
“Bryn did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She paid lots of attention to our elderly cat and sent plenty of pictures and thorough updates. We came back to a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend enough!”
About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.
“Lacie took great care of my old kitty with heart disease who needs medication twice daily. I was nervous to leave her for the first time with someone I didn't know, but Lacie put my mind at ease right away. She responded quickly and was very communicative throughout the process, and sent lots of updates with photos and videos which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Lacie again!”
“Was able to help last minute and was great with my new puppy and bigger pup. Greatly appreciate her being able to help out so last minute. Will use Jessica again!”
“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”

Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mahtomedi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mahtomedi choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mahtomedi with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
